Abstract

The project focuses on the creation of nanofiber systems with enhanced photo-mechanoluminescent response and high mechanical flexibility to further enhance promising optical applications. Lanthanide-Polyvinyl Di-Fluoride fiber systems were created using centrifugal spinning and characterized using SEM, FTIR, XPS, DSC, XRD, and PL. Fibers luminescence response was gotten when induced by ultraviolet light and the application of an impact force.
